>>40276216>That literally only happened like in the first few episodes he appeared inSo SM27, 37, 44, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 87, 88, 89, 90, 105, 108, 127, 128, 129, 131, 132, 134, 135, 137, 138, and 139 were just the first few? Yeah no you retard. In every single one of these episodes Gladion came in with that same stoic blank for the start or majority of his screen time.
>By the time of the the Necrozma arcPic related is how he looked when he joined the UG’s. It took the League for him to finally open up and show some emotion by blushing or even just fucking striking a grin.
>So basically their rivalry was based on trying to be better than each otherNo, like I said, it was built on Ash using a Z-Move Gladion couldn’t. Ash never one upped Gladion in anything and there was never a reason for him to feel inferior. Seeing the Z-Move inspired him to partake in the Island Challenge so he could reach great heights like Ash. That’s what their “rivalry” was based on and it never went further or deeper than that.
>Things that never happenedNow you are just being retarded. Every single time they met up besides for Necrozma, the conversation had to do with the Aether family. There is not a single time this wasn’t the case.
>You can say that to any of Ash's rivalriesNot at all
>Again, stuff that didn't happenThat is literally exactly what he said when he battled James
>That doesn't mean it's badForced =/= bad you dumbass. And yes it was bad writing. Just like Alain, Gladion’s personality took a complete 180 when he battled Ash, and it wasn’t a gradual transition from reserved to passionate and joyful, it kicked off immediately like that so it begs the question why on earth were they so belligerent to the other competitors?
Sorry faggot but you lost this one.
